The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while

distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in a collision and personal

injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution when using

any device or feature that may take their attention off the road. Use of any electrical

devices such as cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other

devices by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and could lead to a

serious collision. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while

the vehicle is moving. If you nd yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle

operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle. Some States or

Provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is always

the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.

This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the important features of your vehicle.

Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability

can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If

you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab,

a friend, or use public transportation.

Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp,

your reﬂexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking.

Never drink and then drive.

WELCOME FROM FCA US LLC

Congratulations on selecting your new FCA US LLC vehicle. Be assured that it represents

precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality - all essentials that are

traditional to our vehicles.

Your new FCA US LLC vehicle has characteristics to enhance the driver's control under

some driving conditions. These are to assist the driver and are never a substitute for

attentive driving. They can never take the driver's place. Always drive carefully.

Your new vehicle has many features for the comfort and convenience of you and your

passengers. Some of these should not be used when driving because they take your eyes

from the road or your attention from driving. Never text while driving or take your eyes more

than momentarily off the road.

This guide illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipment that are

either standard or optional on this vehicle. This guide may also include a description of

features and equipment that are no longer available or were not ordered on this vehicle.

Please disregard any features and equipment described in this guide that are not available

on this vehicle. FCA US LLC reserves the right to make changes in design and specifica-

tions and/or make additions to or improvements to its products without imposing any

obligation upon itself to install them on products previously manufactured.

This User Guide has been prepared to help you quickly become acquainted with the

important features of your vehicle. It contains most things you will need to operate and

maintain the vehicle, including emergency information.

The DVD includes a computer application containing detailed owner's information which

can be viewed on a personal computer or MAC computer. The multimedia DVD also

includes videos which can be played on any standard DVD player (including the

Uconnect

®

Touchscreen Radios if equipped with DVD player capabilities). Additional

DVD operational information is located on the back of the DVD sleeve.

For complete owner information, refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD in the owner’s

kit provided at the time of new vehicle purchase. For your convenience, the information

contained on the DVD may also be printed and saved for future reference.

FCA US LLC is committed to protecting our environment and natural resources. By

converting from paper to electronic delivery for the majority of the user information for

your vehicle, together we greatly reduce the demand for tree-based products and lessen

the stress on our environment.

GETTING STARTED

10

SEAT BELT

• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in the

lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt

the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the

belt in a collision.

• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your

neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.

• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision.

You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt.

The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.

• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move

too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.

• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.

Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged

parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat

belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent

retractor, torn webbing, etc.).

• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices

that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.

• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.

NOTE:

When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, this light will turn on for

four to eight seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt is

unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver or front

passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light will flash or remain

on continuously.

WARNING!

In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not

buckled up properly. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or

you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are

buckled up properly.

Seat Belt Guide Loop

• The seat belt should be routed through the seat belt guide loop located on the outboard

side of the seat while it is in use.

• To utilize the seat belt guide loop, unsnap the guide loop retainer by pulling up on the

head of the retainer and pulling the seat belt guide loop outward.

GETTING STARTED

11

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS

• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right front passenger

as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced Front Air Bags will not

deploy in every type of collision.

• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplement-

ing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on several factors, including

the severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce

the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.

• If the Air Bag W arning Light

is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while

driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.

• This vehicle has an Occupant Classification System (“OCS”) in the right front

passenger seat. The OCS is designed to deactivate the front passenger Advanced Front

Air Bag for an unoccupied seat and for occupants classified in a category other than a

properly seated adult. This could be a child, teenager , or even an adult.

• The Passenger Air Bag Disable (“P AD”) Indicator Light (an amber light located in the

center of the instrument panel) tells the driver and front passenger when the passenger

Advanced Front Air Bag is deactivated. The PAD Indicator light illuminates the words

“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” to show that the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will

not inflate during a collision.

• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental

Restraint System (SRS).

WARNING!

• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air

bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions, the air bags

won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.

• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air

Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need room to

inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or

instrument panel.

• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in

another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.

• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.

GETTING STARTED

12

CHILD RESTRAINTS

Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available.

According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats

rather than in the front.

Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children

ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law , and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.

NOTE:

• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEATCHECK.

• Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada’ s website for additional informa-

tion: http://www .tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm

There are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position. Access ports to the

tether anchors are located in the panel between the rear seat and the rear window. The

tether anchors are underneath access covers in the carpet covering the back of the seat

where you see the tether anchorage symbol.

WARNING!

• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside

the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so

great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and

others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should be

in a proper restraint for the child's size.

• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure

of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed. Follow the

manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.

• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and

possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child

seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.

• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a

front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death to

infants in this position.

• You may use the LATCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and

the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether anchor instead of the

LATCH system once the combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).

GETTING STARTED

13

Installing The Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belts

• The front passenger seating position is equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking

Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around the

child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasion-

ally, and pull it tight if necessary .

• There is a tether strap anchor located behind the child tether access cover behind the

passenger seat.

• Always use the tether anchor when using

the seat belt to install a forward facing

child restraint, up to the recommended

weight limit of the child restraint.

To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR:

1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt path

of the child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.

2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”

3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.

4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled

all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to retract back

into the retractor . As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This means

the seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking mode.

GETTING STARTED

14

5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able to pull

out any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.

6. Finally , pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child

restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle

seat.

7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether

anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See

below for directions to attach a tether anchor .

8. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child

seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.

Installing The Top Tether Strap With The Vehicle Seat Belt:

• When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap, up

to the tether anchor weight limit, when the child restraint is installed with the vehicle

seat belt.

• There is a tether strap anchor located behind the child tether access cover behind the

passenger seat. To attach a child restraint tether strap to the anchor:

1. Move the seat forward.

2. Move the seatback to its full forward position.

3. Remove the child tether access cover by prying either side with a screwdriver or similar

tool, as shown.

NOTE:

While the child tether is in use, keep the access cover in a safe place so that it can be

replaced after use of the child tether.

4. Pass the child restraint tether hook through either opening in the seatback underneath

the head restraint.

5. Attach the tether hook to the anchor loop.

6. Move the seat to its farthest rearward position. Apply body pressure to the seat to be

sure the seat adjusters have latched.

7. Return the seatback to an upright position.

8. Remove slack from the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s

directions.

GETTING STARTED

15

WARNING!

• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside

the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so

great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and

others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should be

in a proper restraint for the child's size.

• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a

front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death to

infants in this position.

• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.

• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure

of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed. Follow the

manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.

• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and

possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child

seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.

• If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make sure the tether strap does not

slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.

FRONT SEATS

• The power seat switches are located on

the outboard side of the front seat cush-

ions.

• The power seat switch controls forward,

rearward, up and down adjustments.

Push the switch forward, rearward, up or

tion of the switch. Release the switch

when the desired position has been

reached.

• The recline switch controls the angle of

the seatback. Press the switch forward or

rearward and the seatback will move in either direction.

GETTING STARTED

• Ratchet the front lever, located on the outboard side of the seat, upward to raise the

seat height.

• Ratchet the lever downward to lower the seat height.

CAUTION!

Do not place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it may cause

damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if movement is stopped

by an obstruction in the seat's path.

WARNING!

• Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of

the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted,

and you could be severely injured or killed. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is

parked.

• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against

your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be severely injured

or killed. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

GETTING STARTED
